Moved from strategy consulting to Bizops at tech about a year ago. Feel like my work consists of a lot of fire drills and low value work that stem from poor processes and clueless management. Is this what industry generally is like or did I draw a short straw?

Generally, No. Based on what you replied on the first comment, FSD 1 is correct. Why stay in a company where you can't advance yourself and your career because of the poor processes. Give yourself a favor and send applications on big firms that can development your skill set.

Are you not part of that poor management and those poor processes. Maybe it wouldn't be low value work if you were trying to improve it. Rather than waiting to be told what to do

You probably aren't the only one, but on the off chance you are it's a sinking ship. Plenty of successful tech firms

Big company? Startup? Common in small startups

This is so AWKWARD. We had our holiday party last night and everyone was drinking (open bar) a group of us went outside to grab cabs together and go home, everything was cool.

I'm single and not mad that he finds me attractive, more worried that all my other coworkers heard him calling me while they waited with him!!
